What’s a Low-Pass Filter?

A low-pass filter (LPF) is a type of band setting you’d see on your EQ.
It will be positioned all the way to the right on the frequency spectrum of your EQ. When you apply it, it appears as a cut that slopes down to the right.
This cuts the frequencies above (to the right) of the low-pass filter. It will help you perceive the lower frequencies better.
Basically, a low-pass filter lets the low frequencies pass through the filter.
Applying an LPF means you’ll hear more low end.
LPFs can show up in many places. Like on a microphone, as part of a preamp, and on an EQ plugin.
Low-Pass Filter Settings
So what are the settings of a low-pass filter? Let’s look at the LPF settings you’d see on an EQ plugin.

First, you have the frequency, cutoff frequency, in Hz.
This tells you where the band is positioned. It’s where the filter hits 0 dB and starts to cut the signal.
Next, you have the gain. With a low-pass filter, this stays at 0 dB regardless.
Lastly, you’ll see the bandwidth, or octave. This determines whether the cutoff is a downward slope or peaks before cutting the frequencies.
Why Use a Low-Pass Filter?
There are a few reasons you may want to use a low-pass filter. (More on the specific techniques in the next section.)
